Whats REALLY The 'ISSUE'?

JANET CANCELS 5 SHOWS TO DATE!
Last Monday, September 29, 2008, Janet Jackson was RUSHED to the hospital in Montreal.
As I signed Online that day and saw the Caption plastered across My Yahoo Homepage, I HONESTLY did NOT even read the article. With Janet, as with the 'Others', theres ALWAYS 'Something' that prevents them from Performing ALL of their Scheduled dates.
As of Saturday, Janet had abruptly CANCELED her Greensboro, North Carolina showcase, following the Cancelations of last Wednesday and Thursdays performances in Boston and Philadelphia. Last night, fans in Atlanta, were made aware, ahead of time that the show would NOT go on, as fans in Fort Lauderdale, FL, have also been forewarned that Tomorrow Nights show is also a NO-GO.
As far as I am Concerned, this is NOT a case of Vertigo, nor is Janet Pregnant. Janet is DEPRESSED, and feeling the Pressures of completing this tour, AGAINST her own desires.
Imagine being an ICON of the music industry, whose past three, Full-Fledged, Studio LP's have each FLOPPED; barely pushing platinum status...
Imagine being once upon a time married to a man, for nine years, who claimed to be the CREATIVE MASTERMIND behind ALL of your Concert Themes, Costumes, Lyrics, Photo LayOuts, Album Titles, etc...and for you to NOT garner the same levels of Success WITHOUT HIM; as you did WHEN you were married to him. HMPH!
Janet has become VERY pedestrian over the years. There was once a time where Janet was rarely EVER seen in the public eye. It use to be a BIG DEAL to see Janet walk onto an awards stage, or make an appearance at any type of industry event. Now, to see Janet, trolliping alongside Jermaine Dupree, is just NO Longer Special. She has become as Everyday and Mundane as the Cast Members from 'Girlfriends', 'The Game', or anyone else of network TV. Her appeal is as B-Listed as the artists and musicians whose record deals fall Under the Urban, Umbrella music companies. Janets appearances amongst industry events have also become as frequent and NECESSARY to her relevancy as Reality Television Stars who make Cameos at ANYWHERE they possibly can, to garner five more minutes of Press.
Janet has LOST that 'ICON.Ship', and has become Too Accessible.
Janet NEEDS to LEAVE Jermaine Dupree alone, in regards to her Artistic Decisions. She needs to Fall-Back for two years, and RETURN to the Innovative, POP Sound that framed the most Poignant years of her career. All of this Urban-Mainstream, Secular Sound, is NOT Signature of Janets Poise, Decorum or Style. The music is Stifling, and it doesnt warrant Success.
Mariah can barely push units at this point. The formula is TIRED.
MAYBE Janet is Pregnant. Personally, I just feel that She is DEPRESSED and UnSure as to HOW to salvage her career. She does NOT Want to engage in this Tour, and I DONT Blame her. She felt PRESSURED to continue Promoting herself to the Masses. No One is interested in hearing the Tracks from her past three albums; hence her having to Saturate her showcase with the singles ranging from 1986-2001.
Its as if 2002-Present is simply Irrelevant.

RENEE ELEZONDO was OBVIOUSLY Telling the Truth. I BELIEVE HIM. He was the ONE creatively concaucting the Themes, Concepts and BluePrints that framed Janets Ultimate Levels of Success between 1991 and 2000.

Just WAIT until Yall find Out that BEYONCE has a Ghost-Creator in her Camp too!

The OFFICIAL Album Cover
If Nothing else, I REALLY Get Into the GLOVES! Nyasha use to Rock Gloves of All Styles and Cuts when She was in High School, and this Look So REMINDS Me of those TrendSetting, Teenage Years for My Sister.
Okay...This Shot TOTALLY Makes Up for the BillBoard Magazine Cover that I TRASHED of Janets, a few days ago. HA!

Maybe a bit Too Disciplined...?

JANET JACKSON
BillBoard Magazine
February 2008
Okay...So, MANY of You have been Emailing Me and IM.ing Me, asking WHY I have NOT posted Janets New Video for FEEDBACK On this Site. Umm...MAYBE because My OPINION about her New Video MATCHES My OPINION about the Cover of this BillBoard Magazine.
WHERE is the WOW Factor during this Promotional SegWay into the February 26th Album Release? JANET's Video is VERY Pedestrian, Mundane, Dark, and SenseLess. This Album Cover is VERY Pedestrian, Mundane, Dark, SenseLess, bland, Boring and Citizen-Like. ONCE AGAIN, Janet Strikes OUT!
My Momentum was SO HIGH when 'FeedBack' HIT the AirWaves. I was SO...AMPED for Supporting Her and this 'ComeBack' Album; of which, she tells BillBoard, is NOT Really a 'ComeBack' Album. Well...I GUESS NOT, Considering the FACT that its also NOT going to Sell Many Units IF this Latest Video and Album Cover are any REAL indication of the Content that we are to Xpect in the Future.
Im No Longer SURE that Im even gonna STILL Support the Tour. Hmm...MAYBE IF 'Someone' buys a Ticket for Me to Go with 'Him'...*WINK*

As Janet is Prepping for the ComeBack Release of her 10th Studio Album, DISCIPLINE, its AMAZING to see ALL of the XCLusive Promo Photos and Magazine LayOuts that are Hitting the Media Circuit. Janet looks SIN.Sational in this Japanese Cover Spot for PRESTIGE Magazine.

NOW, I just CANT WAIT to actually SEE the Video for 'FEEDBACK'. Its gonna be STELLAR, Im SURE~

The FEEDBACK is SIN.Sational

Janet looks absolutely AMAZING in this Cover Shot for her NEW, Sin.Sational Lead Single, FEEDBACK~

Janets New Single is the LARGEST Growing AirPlay Track on American Radio, at this Point. I am STILL So XCited about her February 26, 2008, Album Release; DISCIPLINE~

I was in the Club on Thursday Night, and When this Single HIT the Sound System, the Crowd went APE SHIT~

Black Skin, White Skin, that Asian, Persuasion.....

LOVE that LINE!

Will JANET Make a HUGE Come.Back?...

JANET JACKSON
(New Promotional Photo)
JUST RELEASED TODAY!
The DISCIPLINE Album
Janets 10th Studio Compilation of Her ICONIC Career
Tuesday, FEBRUARY 26, 2008

Janets Album will Officially be Released in JAPAN on Wednesday, February 20, 2008~
Okay...So...for Those of You Who Xist on My YIM or AIM Buddy Lists, You CLEARLY Know

that I am DEFINITELY feeling Janets NEW, ComeBack Single, FEEDBACK.

Though the Track isnt 'CLASSIC' Janet; 'IF', 'PLEASURE PRINCIPLE', 'BECAUSE OF LOVE', 'ALL FOR YOU', it DOES, indeed, have its own, Infectious Flare. I LOVE The Chorus...

Lite Skin, Dark Skin, Asian Persuasion.....SHE GOES OFF! Ha~

I feel So So SeXy Dancing to it!

Im SURE that the Single will FIRST receive Heavy Rotation DIGITALLY and InSide of the Clubs~

Janet's Past Two Studio LP's, DAMITA JO(March 2004) and 20.YO(SEPTEMBER 2006) have been DISAPPOINTING in regards to Sales and Commercial Numbers. HOWEVER, Damita Jo was a Sin.Sational Album, which simply received the Cold Shoulder from the Industry, in due part to that Over-Hyped and UnJust, SuperBowl SCANDAL/FIASCO.

On the Other Hand, Janets Beau, Jermaine Dupree, had TOO MUCH Influence over her 20.YO Album; adding an OverBite of Urban Flare that Juxtaposed the ICONIC Image and Sound of Janets Cross-Over, Cross-Cultural Appeal, with the Pedestrian Antics of Regular, MainStream, R&B/PoP Starlets. I was DISGUSTED to See and Hear Nelly and Khia on Janets Album Released Singles. HORRIFIC Career Move on Janets Part. ALL of her Fans, Who I Know, and Have Spoken to, AGREE, Whole Heartedly~

What I, along with MANY Others WANT from Janet at this Point, is the Woman and Entertainer Who doesnt SEEM so Pedestrian and Mundane. When Janet use to make RARE Appearances at Awards Shows and Other Red Carpet Events, it was an Industry and Public TREAT. The Moments, in themselves, were So So XCLusive and Widely Discussed. People were in Awe...Mezmorized of Sorts. Well...Ever Since She has Hooked up with Jermaine, She has LOST a Great deal of that 'IT' Factor. That DEFINITELY Dissapoints ME.

I Want Janets NEW 2008 Album, DISCIPLINE, to TRULY Reinvent Her as One of the Industry Legends, and Stage Icons. Though BEYONCE is the Reigning Ingenue of Fame-Face-Flash & Fortune, Janet has the Potential and 'Know How' to NOT Knock BeYonce, but to Indeed, Join the Ranks...Once again.

Im REALLY going to get Behind the Promotional Conductor Boost for the Release of this Janet Project. I Want her Sales to be Phenomenal...Much like Mariah did with 2005's, EMANCIPATION OF MIMI, following 2 Flopped Albums of her Own.

SIDENOTE: When We Say 'FLOPPED' for Janet, Mariah, Madonna, Mary, BeYonce...We Mean ONLY Selling Platinum Status; a feat that MOST R&B and POP acts can Only HOPE and DREAM of Achieving~

Its going to be quite DIFFICULT, However, for Janet to ReClaim...for Mariah ALSO Drops in February 2008; Janets NEW Record Label Mate, upon her departure from her Career Long Relationship with Virgin.

MADONNAS Next Studio LP Drops in March, and Miss. BeYonce returns in May.

SO...This is DEFINITELY Going to be a BATTLE to the Deaths of Musical, Commercial and Critical Acclaims for JANET and Our Other Female Fetale ICONS~

Im SO XCITED for the 1st and 2nd Quarters of Music in 2008. Im ACTUALLY going to See Janet on Tour this Go around. I have NEVER Seen her LIVE!~...and Shes already PROMISING to take BACK to the Stage~

LISTEN to JANETS New Single: FEEDBACK.

We Here at Emerald Eye Entertainment are TRULY Supporting Janet this Go Round.

...though We WILL Still be Downloading the U.S. and JAPANESE Import Tracks as they become Available, Online.
